Perspective

I forgot to weigh myself this morning.  When I finally remembered I had already drank a cup of coffee.  I normally weigh myself right after waking up and using the bathroom.  So this morning, I had been up a little while and had a full cup of coffee in my belly when I weighed myself.  Happily, the number I saw was 163.8.  I realize it was only 0.2 lb less than the 164 I saw on Friday morning, but all weekend my numbers were closer to 165, I even saw one 167, so that 3 at the end was a VERY, very welcome sight. 

I have been doing the Meet My Goals Challenge as you know if you've been reading my blog for the last few weeks.  Daria has not posted the current week's results so I haven't had to think about my goals.  However, I figure I better if I'm going to meet my goals for this week.  I did terrible on my goals from last week.  I didn't meet even one of them.  I did no extra exercises, I didn't take my vitamins and I didn't do even 1 sit-up, much less 100 a day.

I have kinda lost my confidence in meeting my goals.  I thought I had picked fairly easy goals, but last week I couldn't even do the simplest one, which was take my vitamins.  How hard is it to remember vitamins.  Obviously, for me, pretty hard.

So this week . . . I am not sure what I want to do as my goals.  I guess I will keep them mostly the same.
exercise 3x other than running (I am going to include some sort of strength training in this)
vitamins (seriously, third week's a charm, right??)
100 situps and as many pushups as I can (which is sadly only about 15) . . . since I know I can do 100 situps a day at least 4 times this week

Going back to my weight, I found an old post from April where I was excited to see 167 on the scale.  I even took a picture of the scale to prove I was that low.  And yesterday (and today) I was complaining that I saw 164.  Perspective, perspective. 
This morning I got up for a minute to get more coffee, when I got up Maddox had stolen my spot.  He's so cute.  :-)
